Dubai eGovernment and Zayed University have entered into a strategic partnership to enhance mutual cooperation in raising standards of research and benchmarking and to create content for e-learning programs.

The two sides recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that marks the start of a long-standing collaboration. Under the new partnership, Dubai eGovernment will create opportunities for Zayed University female students and faculties to work on real results-oriented research and benchmarking projects, under joint supervision, as well as offer internship programs for the university's female students.

The MoU lists a number of additional concrete proposals for enhanced mutual cooperation between the two sides. Zayed University will dedicate students to work on Dubai eGovernment projects through the University's Capstone Course. Dubai eGovernment will arrange workshops and seminars for Zayed University students in addition to providing topics, objectives and guidelines for e-learning courses.

Dubai e-Government is a pioneering initiative in the region to provide online services across the spectrum of corporate and community life in the emirate. It also has a vision to integrate individually automated government departments under the single umbrella of the e-government initiative, thus empowering employees across lines of businesses and levels of government, besides facilitating the lives of citizens and customers of the government. — (menareport.com)
